I can’t believe I waited so long to order from here. Everything we got was amazing. Spicy but amazing. I ordered from Uber eats but would love to eat there sometime. We got chicken and lamb.

First time dining in. Ordered Vegetable Pakoras, Mango Chutney, Aloo Kulcha, Butter Chicken and Lamb Tikka Masala. We were the only ones dining in but there was a constant flow of take out traffic.

Best Indian food I’ve had in the Indianapolis area. Phenomenal flavor (recommend paneer tikka masala + onion kulcha). Fair pricing, very friendly staff, and nice atmosphere.

Passing through town, we picked this place at random and it did not disappoint. It’s located in such a pretty neighborhood. There were 2 waitresses and they both frequently checked on us. One of them, it was only her second day working and she did such a great job, very friendly. 🙂

The Little India came highly recommended by friends and it did not disappoint! We both got our favorite Indian dishes for comparison and they were excellent. The mango lassi were the style we prefer and the garlic naan sublime. We are definitely adding it to our dine out rotation

Ordered Gobi, chicken palak, naan, lamb curry, and chicken pakoras, all of which tasted good. None of the food is really spicy so if you have a low spice tolerance I wouldn’t be worried. The Gobi surprised me because it is cooked way different than how my family would cook it. The Gobi is breaded and fried which gives it a very interesting crispy texture and taste.

Our family ate here for the first time (Indian food is a must when going out of town) and it was such a great experience. Waitress was very attentive, polite and very helpful and food was DELICIOUS!! We ordered Butter chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan and it was all very flavorful. This will definitely be one of our stops whenever we’re in town.
